White is the headliner here, but don't forget the name "Nick Frasso" for Los Angeles.

With his young age and lack of experience against advanced pitching, De Jesus is essentially a lottery ticket: he could one day hit enough home runs as a big leaguer to compensate for his swing-and-miss, or the absence of a tool besides raw power could be his demise. Upon returning to the mound, he came out firing 97–98-mph fastballs, even touching 100, according to Statcast. The shape isn’t great for a four-seamer, but Frasso could very well be throwing a sinker. With three low-level prospects involved in the deal, determining which team “won” the deal is both impossible and unnecessary. Frasso is 23 — young, but considering that he’s still in A-ball, not really; he lost precious years of development due to the pandemic and Tommy John surgery in 2021. Accordingly, Eric Longenhagen has him as a 40+ FV — a bump from his original grade of 35+, but understandably conservative. His command is still questionable, and back when he was drafted, his secondaries lagged in comparison to his fastball. A 20-year-old, switch-hitting third baseman from the Dominican Republic, his claim-to-fame is his raw power from a steep bat path. With José Berríos and Yusei Kikuchi still in search of consistency and Hyun Jin Ryu out for the season, White’s presence provides some respite for the Blue Jays. The slider, his secondary offering, is genuinely great, featuring two-plane break and solid velocity for a breaking ball (84–86 mph). Opposing hitters agree; when swinging at it, they’ve whiffed 33.8% of the time so far. Then we have the Blue Jays, who ended up with White. It’s understandable if this feels like a disappointing pickup, and while it’s better than nothing at all, with the right maneuvers, they could have done much better. That’s partially because his team seldom lets him face the order for a third time, but it’s also the point: For four or five innings, White does his job on the mound and then heads back to the dugout. This is a four-player deal, with each team involved receiving two of them.
